Line Spacing in Webpages

In other text editors like Word you may be used to hitting [Enter] and being sent to the next line or having a line spacing tool to adjust line spacing (double, single, etc.).

However in online webpage editors like Wild Apricot you don't have this functionality by built in (e.g. it needs to be created). 

But until this functionality does exist there are some workarounds you can use for now.

The most popular is to use the the 'shift+enter' combinations keyboard short cut.

How it works

How this works does depend on the browser you are using.

If you already have a paragraph created in your page:

• Hitting [Enter] will create new paragraph and hitting Shift+Enter will create a break (<br>) which sets cursor under your current line.
  • Except for Safari - Shift+Enter will create new paragraph as well.

If you do not have a paragraph yet the behavior of Shift+Enter will change depending on the browser you are using

• Firefox: Enter/Shift+Enter will create <br> (a line break)
• Chrome: Enter will create new <div>, Shift+Enter will create <br>
• IE: Enter will create new paragraph/Shift+Enter will create <br>
• Safari: Enter/Shift+Enter will create new div

But note that for these examples to work you will need to have an HTML paragraph (see example below) inserted into your page.

To insert a paragraph you can copy and paste the follow example into your page using the HTML button (see HTML) .
